I encountered the error and yesterday and still have it today but i found a temporary way to bypass it. I use my gmail in firefox and that is where i always check it but when i tried to check it in Internet Explorer it worked. So if you are having problems try to use a different browser.

Tell Me If it works.

I can log into my gmail account on my work computers (mac & pc using firefox & thunderbird) and can check my gmail w/no problems, but at home on my laptop, I can't since May 14th! What's up with that?!?!?

I got this message from Gmail today. Following these instructions fixed the problem I've been having for over a month.

Hello,

Thank you for your report.

To fix this problem, it may be necessary to clear your browser's cache and
cookies. To clear your cache and cookies in Firefox, please follow these
steps:

1. Log out of your Gmail account and close all other open browser windows.
2. Click the 'Tools' menu at the top of your browser and select 'Clear
Private Data...'
3. Select the 'Cookies' and 'Cache' checkboxes.
4. Click 'Clear Private Data Now.'

In some cases, it may be necessary to clear your cache more than once to
completely fix the problem. If you continue to experience difficulties,
please respond to this message and we'll investigate the issue further.

Sincerely,
